Coupe vs Convertible Decklid Differences?

[Boss Bandit]

Hey guys,

I snagged a 50th Anniversary faux gascap panel for relatively cheap off of ebay for a project I have in mind (which I'll detail as I get to it), but when I received the part I realized its marked as "convertible" on it. I have a fastback, so I'm wondering if there's any real difference. I haven't really found any evidence of anything, but since Ford went to the trouble of marking it so specifically, I imagine there has to be a reason.

Before I go through the trouble of pulling mine off, I thought I'd see if there's any knowledge on the matter.

Thanks guys.

I sold a fastback decklid to a convertible owner a few months ago.
No complaints, so I assume they are the same.

Thank you, Chef. Still baffled by Ford's specific identification. Hopefully the inverse is also true.

Might give it a test run this weekend if I have the chance to.

Did you ever install the decklid on your car? I am looking at buying one that also seems to be labeled convertible and I would love to know if there is any difference.

The sheetmetal decklid is different between coupes and convertibles. The black trim panel doesn’t seem to be bodystyle specific.

The decklid panel is the same - convertible owner:cheers:
